It should have been the first day of a joyous week for Robb Elementary School students in Uvalde, Texas — the start of summer break.
A woman cries outside of Hillcrest Memorial Funeral Home in Uvalde, Texas, on May 30, 2022, during the visitation for Amerie Jo Garza, who died in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. It should have been the first day of a joyous week for Robb Elementary School students — the start of summer break.
The little girl who loved to draw had just received a cellphone for her 10th birthday. One of her friends told Angel Garza that Amerie tried to use the phone to call police during the assault on her fourth-grade classroom. Maite's family wore green tie-dye shirts with an illustration showing Maite with angel wings. Before going into the funeral home, they stopped at the ditch to see the metal gate gunman Salvador Ramos crashed a pickup truck into before crossing a field and entering the school.Hillcrest Memorial itself and the shooting will be forever linked. After Ramos wrecked the truck, two men at the funeral home heard the crash and ran toward the accident scene. Ramos shot at them.
A Texas law enforcement official presented the known timeline of the Uvalde school shooting and the 911 calls in a press briefing on May 27, 2022. "What happened in Uvalde was a horrific act of evil," Abbott said. "And as Texans, we must come together and lift up Uvalde and support them in every way that we possibly can. It is going to take time to heal the devastation that the families there have gone through and are going through, But be assured, we will not relent until Uvalde recovers."The U.S. Department of Justice announced Sunday a review of the law enforcement response.
Authorities have said Ramos legally purchased two guns not long before the school attack: an AR-style rifle on May 17 and a second rifle on May 20. He had just turned 18, permitting him to buy the weapons under federal law.Thousands of people will gather in Houston this weekend as the National Rifle Association begins its annual convention, including protesters who are holding a Gun Control Rally outside the convention center.
